Спасибо! (Thank you) - Veterans of the Red Army.

9th May 1945: The day when the Red flag with sickle and hammer was raised thriumphantly over the Reichstag in Berlin. The day when Nazi Germany surrended unconditionally to the Red Army, marking a great victory of humanity over fascism. The 9th May is, without doubt, one of the brightest dates in human history, a glorious day for the first Socialist state, for the Soviet Union and it's people.
On this day, we pay tribute to all those heroes, men and women, who gave their own lives on the battlefields. We remember all those heroes who fought against the monster of Fascism. From the bottom of our heart we express our gratitude to the fighters of the Soviet Army, to the communist and anti-fascist partisans in Europe who led the liberation struggles against the Nazis. We remember and honor all those men and women, of every age, who maintained a heroic stance against the firing squads of the fascists.
On this day, we remember the enormous contribution of the Soviet Union in the victory against Fascism. It was the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) which paid the highest cost in human sacrifices and shouldered the major burned of the war. The contribution of the USSR in the fight against the Nazis was both heroic and decisive: More than 20 million dead (along with the disabled and wounded ones the number approaches 30 million), more than 7 million civilian casualties and extensive destruction of infrastructure (32,000 industrial enterprises and almost 65,000 railway kilometres were fully of partially destroyed).
The leading role of the working class and the masses, the socialization of the means of production as well as the central planning of Soviet economy were decisive in preparing Soviet Union's defense against the enemy. The USSR leadership, under the Communist Party of the Bolsheviks and Joseph Stalin personally, had managed to cover a long distance of socio-economic socialist development in a period of 20 years followed the end of the civil war.

Today, we have to face various distortions of the historical truth. The various mechanisms of the bourgeois state, the instruments of capitalism, constantly attempt to vilify the USSR and the achievements of 20th century's Socialism. They try to brainwash people (especially the younger ones) by equating Communism with Nazism under the “umbrella” of “totalitarianism”. They hide that both Fascism and Hitler's Nazism were Capitalism's children, that Nazi Germany was financially supported by European and US monopolies. They hide the fact that the fascist monster emerged from the bowels of the Capitalist system.
It is our duty to defend the historical truth and to expose the anti-communist lies. The 9th of May is a day of remembrance but also a source of inspiration in order to deal with the present and future tasks and struggles with decisiveness, readiness and maturity.

German professor debunked the myth of the "atrocities" of the Red Army: German women were raped en masse Saxons
[ Spoiler Spoiler (the click to the open) ]
http://rusmi.su/userfiles/news/files/dmkau4qskt.jpg
Book a German professor Miriam Gebhardt "When the soldiers came," caused a shock in Europe
"The lessons of the defeat of Nazi Germany" - was the title of a conference held in London, just in time - before the 70th anniversary of the Victory. But how muchantiquated clichés instead of objective analysis of the outstanding British experts! Again and again we repeated the "decisive contribution to Anglo-American allies in victory." And often remembered "raped Germany" - of course, the soldiers of the Red Army. Drive terrible figure - 2 million victims - even though it has long been denied by declassified documents of the war years.
http://rusmi.su/userfiles/news/files/dmkau4qskt.jpg
In contrast to such charges the author of these lines, participated in the conference, read excerpts from the book "When the soldiers came," which has just been published in Germany. In her German history professor Miriam Gebhardt led the facts and figures, which are not close your eyes.
"Feats" ordinary Mariano
Private American tank battalion Blake Mariano was undoubtedly brave soldier. He fought with the Germans in Africa, Italy and the south of France. In March 1945, his tank crossed the Rhine and moved in Germany.
By this time the 29-year-old Blake has not been for almost three years at home in New Mekciko. On the British Isles, it was waiting for a friend. However, that night the American was not up to it. He decided to celebrate the capture of the village Lauf and with another American soldier found the cellar with a good cognac. Thoroughly dialed, wanted to "continue the fun."
In the church there were hiding seventeen villagers - women and children. Blake pointed a gun at a 20-year-old Elfridu, led her into the yard and raped. Back at the church, chosen following a German woman. When it turned out that 40-year-old Martha month, he shot her. The suffering woman died the next day. A brave soldier, meanwhile, was engaged to 54-year-old Babette.
Talking about this episode, Miriam Gebhardt says:
One of the persistent and favorite paintings depicting the Second World War, is as follows: freeing Germany from the Nazis, the British and American troops have behaved quite decently, but the Red Army soldiers raped hundreds of thousands of German women between the ages of eight to eighty years. In fact, everything is different.
The author cites the following data:
The Americans were subjected to sexual violence 190 thousand residents of Germany, Britain - 45 thousand, the French about the same.
almost wrote about the Red Army Gebhardt, but said the figure of 2 million "repeatedly overstated."
Infosnaryady and information: German professor debunks the myth of the "atrocities" of the Red Army: German women were raped en masse Saxons
"Will you sleep with me!"
http://ipolk.ru/uploads/images/00/31/14/2016/01/09/xf8ca1f.jpg.pagespeed.ic.kMKu8AfIzI.jpg
The book, "When the soldiers came," caused confusion residents of the United Kingdom.
- If this information is correct, - grimly ascertain journalists London "Daily Mail" - then we should seriously reconsider our assessment of the liberation of Germany by Allied troops. In addition, it is necessary to radically change the attitude towards those whom we consider "our greatest generation."
A total of only 152 American soldiers have been convicted of rape during the Second World War. But this list is certainly not complete, because of this kind of crimes rarely becomes known. According to the calculations of British scientist Leon Radzinovicha, only five percent of women report violence against them. Shame and silence.
this figure was even lower during the war. "When American soldiers entered the towns and villages of the Third Reich, they were shouting terrified women living:
" Will you sleep with me! " - It says in the book. - Many of the Germans were going for it. Someone - to save yourself and your family, someone - for some simple gifts, and someone at will . "
After the war, some of the "heroes" who find themselves in American prisons, admitted that there was no need to rape, as Fraulein sometimes agree to all of the nylon stockings or even a pack of cigarettes.
Many cases are so egregious that Gebhardt did not dare, for its recognition, to write about them. Especially about the abuse of children. For example, one of the victims was only three years.
Crimes are often committed brutal band of robbers and looters. March night in 1945 six Americans completely drunk broke into the house near Frankfurt. A few hours later they were raped in the same room hostess and her 18-year-old daughter, who was in the street screaming, "Mama!" But no one came to help. All the valuable things soldiers claimed.
Most often, the Germans were told about the incident to local priests. Miriam Gebhardt leads log entry pastor of Berhtestgadena Michael Merksmyullera:
"Eight girls raped, some in front of their parents."
The author adds that the British and French "tried to keep" the Americans. April 16, 1945 fighters with Albion a few hours bullied by three women-residents of the town of Neustadt. And in the village Eule soldiers dragged the little girl in the woods, and when she started screaming, shot her.
Bosses winked
In the armies of the allies punishment for sexual assault theoretically it has been severe. Sometimes - a life sentence, in some cases even the death penalty. But the higher ranks, as a rule, try not to wash dirty linen in public. Why embarrass yourself?

Military courts also have been indulgent to such "offenders". Why are there trials, the very British king sometimes took under the protection of his subjects. One of the British soldiers under the shaft of irrefutable evidence, sentenced to long prison terms. But in less than two years as monarch on the dictates of his fully released from criminal liability.
Nevertheless, the London press is now falls criticized Miriam Gebhardt. Like the Allies, of course, they commit a crime, but not on such a scale as she narrates. And the children, whom they bore raped German women, certainly not two thousand, as a historian, counted, and at times less. The author of the book even accused of anti-Americanism.
However, the same "Daily Mail" recognizes that "at the end of the war in the occupied territories were happening horrible things", and reprints excerpts of Private Blake Mariano.
By the way, in his case, justice was done. By decision of the Tribunal Mariano hanged for murder and rape.
"But still, his death was easier than the fate of a plurality of those whom he and others like him, destroyed," - said in the book.
Mass violence allies in France and Italy
Recall that came out sensational book, "What do men: sex and the US military in France during the Second World War" in 2013 by Professor Mary Roberts of the University of Vinskonsina which noted in the preface:
"My book upsets the old myth about the American soldiers who, according to popular belief, always behaved well. The Americans had sex everywhere and with all on whom was the skirt. " Submit to another continent military promised" erotic adventure "and that this" mission "they performed with great zeal. Everything else, for the United States discriminated against blacks and African tribes, the European "adventure" was a way to "take revenge on the white."
"In May 1944, the Allies - the forces of" democracy and equality "- finally managed to capture Monte Cassino (Monte Cassino), in the central part of Italy. As part of the Allied troops were Moroccan. They were mediocre soldiers, but they were not equal in the killings of prisoners and of the rape of civilians. At night, after the Battle of Monte Cassino, the division of Moroccan soldiers - 12 000 Moroccans - were removed from their camp and, like grasshoppers, fell on a group of mountain villages around Monte Cassino. They raped in these villages all women and girls, which they were able to find - their number is estimated at 3,000 women, aged 11 to 86 years. They killed 800 male villagers who were trying to protect their women. Some women are abused to such an extent that more than 100 of them from that die.
... Moroccan soldiers selected the prettiest girls for gang rape, and long lines of black lined up in front of each of them waiting for their turn, while other Moroccans held the victims. Two sisters, 15 and 18 years, were raped more than 200 Moroccans each. One of them died, the other spent 53 years in a psychiatric clinic. The Moroccans were raped in the villages and young people " . ( William Luther Pierce , "Women of Monte Cassino" )
study, based on a study of military archives, not only in France but also in the United States, helped to identify the fact that violence and the satisfaction of physiological needs are the main methods the US military on the "establishment of their power, and over the French. "
And after that, when finally passed "the charm of the liberators", in 1951 the CIA conducted experiments with the massive use of LSD over the inhabitants of the French town of Pont-Saint-Esprit, in which 5 people were killed, and the remaining 500 residents swept outbreak of mass insanity.

The 5 Most Popular Myths About the Soviet Union's Role in WWII, Busted
vk.com
http://cdn5.img.sputniknews.com/images/103933/12/1039331281.jpg
Nikita Khrushchev's report to the 20th Congress of the CPSU in 1956 was one of the greatest sources of myths about the Great Patriotic War, its absurdity stretching to claims that Joseph Stalin used a globe to plan operations. Other myths, often just as absurd, have since emerged, some of them historiographic, others fantasies borne of propaganda.
Russian online newspaper Vzglyad offers a Top 5 of the most common myths surrounding the titanic 20th century struggle.
Myth #1: 'The Soviet Alliance With Nazi Germany'
One of the most common myths, actively used by the Polish government in its squabbles with Russia over the memory of World War II, asserts that the Soviet Union cooperated, collaborated with or was even allied to Nazi Germany during the first stages of the Second World War. To break this myth, Vzglyad notes, it's necessary to recall events from earlier in the century.
"In 1919, Poland, looking grab the territories of the former Russian Empire amid the chaos of the Russian Civil War, decided, with the support of the Entente, to intervene against Soviet Russia, Soviet Byelorrusia and Soviet Ukraine. As a result of the Soviet-Polish War, western Ukraine and western Belarus came under Warsaw's control."
Two decades later, "in September 1938, the great powers of Britain and France, pursuing a policy of appeasement vis-à-vis Hitler, ordered Czechoslovakia to cede control of the Sudetenland to Germany. The agreement was signed in Munich on September 30 and went down in history as the 'Munich Conspiracy'," (also known as the Munich Betrayal in Czech historiography). "The Sudetenland turned out not to be enough for Hitler, and he eventually took all of Czechoslovakia, apart from the Cieszyn region. The area was taken by Poland, which presented its own ultimatum to Prague. The great powers did not respond to the partition."

The Munich Betrayal: How Western Powers 'Sold' Czechoslovakia to Hitler
During the same period, "the Soviet Union had mutual assistance pacts, signed in 1935, with both France and Czechoslovakia; the three-sized pact was fully capable of stopping Hitler. But Paris preferred to close its eyes on its obligations, and the USSR's proposal to send troops was torpedoed by Poland, which flatly refused to let them passed through its territory.""On September 1, 1939, the Wehrmacht invaded Poland. On September 3, Britain and France declared war on Germany, but this was a 'phony war'," (with fighting on the western front effectively limited to a few skirmishes until Germany's invasion of France, the Netherlands and Belgium in the spring of 1940). "On September 4, 1939, France and Poland signed an agreement of mutual assistance, out of which nothing more would come."
"The Poles' requests for military support would go unanswered, and on September 9, the Polish government began negotiations for asylum in neighboring countries; on September 13, the country's gold reserves were evacuated, and the leadership fled to Romania on September 17. The same day, having ascertained that the Polish state had virtually ceased to exist, the Soviet Union began moving troops into the territory of western Ukraine and western Belarus."
Admittedly, Vzglyad notes, "before that the USSR signed a non-aggression pact, known as the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, with Germany. But Poland itself had signed a similar agreement with Berlin, known as the Hitler-Pilsudski Pact, in 1934."
Myth #2: 'Ample Intelligence Warnings'
Another widely held myth, the newspaper recalls, is that "Stalin knew about Nazi Germany's impending attack, having been been repeatedly warned about it by Soviet intelligence, which even provided him with the date of the attack. But the leader did not trust anyone and did nothing," with disastrous consequences.
"We can thank the birth of this myth to Nikita Khrushchev and his report to the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union [in 1956]. It's interesting to recall the arguments made by Khrushchev himself to substantiate his accusations. For instance, he noted that Stalin had been repeatedly warned about German preparations for war against the Soviet Union by Winston Churchill."

Russia a 'Civilization Capable of Rising Out of the Ashes Like a Phoenix'
In his speech, Khrushchev emphasized that "it goes without saying that Churchill did not do this due to friendly feelings toward the Soviet people," but "pursued his imperialist interests to pit Germany and the USSR in a bloody war…""It's interesting," Vzglyad notes: "Perhaps Stalin thought the same thing? In this regard Khrushchev's accusation is rather inconsistent."
In the same speech, Khrushchev recalled that in "a report sent from Berlin dated May 6, 1941, the Soviet naval attaché reported that 'Soviet citizen Bothner told the assistant of our naval attaché that, according to a German officer from Hitler's headquarters, the Germans were preparing for an invasion of the USSR on May 14 through Finland, and the Baltics. Simultaneously, powerful air raids were planned to be conducted against Moscow and Leningrad, as well as landings by airborne troops.'"
"Once again," the newspaper notes, "it's unclear how Stalin should have responded to such a serious report, all the more so because as we know, the real war did not begin on May 14 [but on June 22], and progressed in a completely different manner."
Having said that, Soviet intelligence did make ominous reports, and Soviet spy Richard Sorge even called the date of the invasion. For decades, Russian and foreign historians have made much of Stalin's comments ridiculing Sorge and his warnings about the imminent attack.
However, Vzglyad notes, "with all due respect to the heroism of our intelligence forces, it should be noted that, if the reports of agents were to be arranged in chronological order, the following picture would emerge: In March 1941, agents 'Starshina' and 'Korsikanets' reported that the attack would begin around May 1. A report from April 2 suggested that the war would begin on April 15. And a report from April 30 said it would start 'any day now'. A report from May 9 predicted 'May 20 or June'. Finally, a report from June 16 said: 'the blow can be expected at any time'."
"In total, between March and June 1941, Sorge [alone] listed at least seven different dates for the beginning of the war; in March he reported that Hitler would first attack Britain, and in May said that 'this year, the danger can be avoided'. On June 20 his fateful report warning that 'war is inevitable' arrived."

Rewritten by the Ignorant: WWII Historical Revisionism Holding Sway in West
Unfortunately, "an analytical department within the intelligence services did not yet exist. All these reports found their way onto Stalin's desk. The result was not difficult to predict.""Generally," the newspaper notes, "even without these reports, it was obvious to the Soviet leadership that war was coming. The Red Army was undergoing rearmament. Under the guise of large training exercises, the covert mobilization of reservists was taking place. But intelligence could not offer a definitive answer on the date that the confrontation would start. The decision to mobilize would not only mean the withdrawal of workers, tractors and vehicles from the economy; it would mean the immediate commencement of war, since mobilization cannot simply start for no reason. The Soviet leadership in this situation believed that better later than sooner, the rearmament of the Red Army would be complete in 1942."
Myth #3: 'Stalin Bled the Red Army White'
One of the most common explanations for the catastrophic collapse that took place between summer and winter of 1941 is the repression against the Red Army on the eve of the war. "Again," Vzglyad recalls, "we are dealing with a thesis originally put forward in Khrushchev's report at the 20th Congress."
"Very grievous consequences, especially with regard to the beginning of the war, followed Stalin's annihilation of many military commanders and political workers during 1937-1941 due to his suspiciousness and through slanderous accusations," Khrushchev said. "During these years, repressions were instituted against certain parts of our military cadres, beginning literally at the company and battalion commander levels and extending to higher military centers," he added.

Five Incredible Victories of Russian Geopolitik, From Napoleon to Crimea 2014
Since then, Vzglyad notes, these words were complemented with some statistics. "For example, journalistic works offer the following data: in 1940, from 225 regimental commanders of the Red Army, only 25 graduated from military schools; the other 200 [only] completed courses as junior lieutenants, or came from the reserves. It has been claimed that as of January 1 1941, 12% of the Red Army's commanders had no military training, and in the ground forces this number grew to 16%. Consequently, Stalin was said to have 'bled' the army before the war.""Indeed," the paper notes, "a wave of repression swept through the Red Army in the late 1930s and [early] 1940s. According to documents which have since been declassified, between 1934 and 1939, the Red Army's command lost over than 56,000 people, 10,000 of them arrested. Another 14,000 were dismissed for drunkenness and 'moral degradation'; the rest were dismissed for other reasons – illness, disability, etc. In the same period, 6,600 of the officers previously dismissed were reinstated after further proceedings."
"To understand the scale of the purge, it's worth recalling that in 1937, Marshal Kliment Voroshilov said that 'the army had a total of 206,000 persons in the command structure'. The total size of the Red Army in 1937 was 1.5 million men."
"Admittedly, poor training of the commanders of the Red Army was a problem, but not one caused by repression. Already in 1939 the army had grown to 3.2 million men, and by January 1941 – to 4.2 million. By the beginning of the war the command staff amounted to nearly 440,000 officers and staff. The country was preparing for war, the army was growing, undergoing rearmament, and the training of officers really did come too little, too late."
Myth #4: 'Soviets Won by Jamming German Guns With the Bodies of Dead Soldiers'

Defending Historic Victory of 1945 Means Remembering Its Relevance Today
"According to current Russian figures, the total irretrievable losses among the Soviet armed forces during World War II, including the campaign in the Far East in 1945, amounted to 11.444 million men. According to official German data, the Wehrmacht's losses total 4.193 million. This ratio is so terrible that [Russian writer] Victor Astafiev's statement that 'we did not know how to fight, and just drowned the fascists with the corpses of our soldiers' does not sound all that surprising.""The problem," Vzglyad notes, "is that contemporary Russian and German sources use different methods for counting losses. By the Russian method, 'irretrievable losses' include those who died at the front, those who died from their wounds in hospital, those who went missing, were taken prisoner, as well as non-combat losses, including deaths from disease, from accidents, and so on."
The quirks of this system of bookkeeping are revealing, and fail, for example, to recall the fact that those 'irretrievable' losses also included over 939,000 former captured soldiers who would be reconscripted in the liberated territories, and those who, remaining captured, returned from captivity after the war, who numbered 1.836 million men. Hence, "in total…the demographic losses of the Soviet armed forces actually amounted to 8.668 million men."
"The German method accounts for those killed, who died of wounds, and failed to return from captivity; the 'irretrievable losses' for Germany on the Soviet-German front amounted to 7.181 million, and that's just Germany. When its allies are included, the figure grows to 8.649 million." In total, among those killed, Germany and its allies lost an estimated 5 million men. "Thus, the ratio of German and Soviet demographic losses is 1:1.3."
"The explanation for this fact is no less terrible, Vzglyad notes. "During the war, 4.559 million Soviet soldiers came under Nazi captivity; at the same time, 4.376 million Wehrmacht troops were captured by the Soviets. Over 2.5 million of our soldiers died in Nazi camps. 420,000 German POWs died in Soviet captivity."
Myth #5: 'Victory in Spite of…'
Ultimately, the newspaper argues, "it's impossible, in one article, to cover the entire array of 'black myths' of the Great Patriotic War."
"These myths include stories of criminals from the penal battalions who, according to film lore, decided the outcome of several battles. They also include the famous 'one rifle for three men' myth…and that of the infamous blocking units who would shoot Soviet soldiers in the back en masse…and stories of homeless children trained as suicide commandos, and so on and so forth. All these myths add up to one giant global assertion that 'we won in spite of: in spite of illiterate commanders and bloodthirsty generals, the totalitarian Soviet system and Joseph Stalin personally."

May 9, Great Patriotic War Victory Day - Facts and Details
"History knows many examples of well-trained and well-equipped armies losing battles due to inept generals. But for a country to win in a global 'war to exhaustion' in spite of its leadership is something completely new. A war is not only the front, not only a question of strategy, and not just a problem of supplying troops with food and ammunition. It also included organization of the home front – of agriculture, industry, logistics, the need to provide the population with medicine and medical aid, shelter and bread.""Soviet industry from western regions was evacuated to the Urals in the first months of the war. Could such a titanic logistical operation really be carried out in spite of the will of the country's leadership? In their new locations, workers put machine tools in open fields, while new buildings were hurriedly built up around them. Could all this really be attributed only to the fear of reprisals? Millions of people were evacuated to Central Asia and Kazakhstan. The residents of Tashkent took every single soul who remained at the railway station overnight into their homes. Was all this in spite of the brutal customs of the Soviet land?"
"When Leningrad held, despite everything, and hungry women and children stood at the lathes for 12 hours at a time, stamping the shells, Jambyl Jabayev, a poet from distant Kazakhstan, wrote his famous verse 'People of Leningrad, my children! People of Leningrad, my pride!', and people in the Soviet Far East wept over this poem. Is all this not a sign that the entire country, from top to bottom, was bonded by a moral code of unprecedented strength?"
Ultimately, Vzglyad asks: "would all this be possible if society was atomized, living in a state of civil war with the government, and had no trust for authorities? The answer is clear. The Soviet Union and the Soviet people, each in their respective station, and by their joint efforts, committed an incredible, historically unprecedented feat."
Happy Victory Day everyone!

We are inspired by and learn from the Great Antifascist Victory, we continue
The 71st anniversary of the Antifascist Victory was honoured with multi-faceted activities in Greece.
http://inter.kke.gr/export/sites/inter/.content/images/news/kaisarianh-moyseio-ethnikhs-antistashs-41.jpg_632244161.jpg
So, amongst other things, in Kaisariani, where the mayor is the communist Ilias Stamelos, the museum of the National Liberation front (EAM) was opened. The GS of the CC of the KKE, D. Koutsoumpas, attended the opening.

The organizations of the KKE and KNE in Kallithea and the Kallithea branch of the veterans of the National Resistance and the Democratic Army (PEAEA-DSE) laid wreaths at the Memorial of the Soviet Soldier.
http://inter.kke.gr/export/sites/inter/.content/images/news/larisa-antifasistikh-1.jpg_875307648.jpg
The Larisa branch of the PEAEA-DSE held an event for the 71st anniversary of the Antifascist Victory at the blood-stained hill of Mezourlou, where from 1947 to 1949, over 450 militants of the EAM resistance, the DSE, cadres and members of the KKE were executed.
As the relevant statement of the Press Office of the CC mentioned amongst other things: “We are inspired by and learn from the Great Antifascist Victory. We continue with the unshakeable conviction that socialism is necessary and the only answer to capitalist system. We continue resolutely in the front line, with the working class and people, for social liberation, for the abolition of exploitation of man by man. The Great Antifascist Victory inspires the peoples and teaches them to place trust in their own strength. They can and must test this strength today so that they can be freed from the continual anti-people measures, poverty, unemployment and exploitation.”
The European Communist Initiative , in which the KKE and other communist and workers parties from Europe participate, also issued a statement for May 9th.
